J. Sterling Morton's ofTort to cripple
.ho sugar beet industry by denouncing
the bounty as n system of pernicious
H-otcctlon is in kouning with nil the
other freo-trado fallnclos. In order to
carry his point with n thoughtless nudl-
once Morton , in his Grand Island speech ,
denounced as nn imposition upon the
American pcoplo the refunding of the
duly on Iho machinery which the
Oxnnrds imported from Europe , nnd
sought to reuse popular prejudice
Against them by pointing to the fact
, hat they also Imported foreigners to
sot up the machinery , nnd employed
'orolgncrs to carry on the culture of the
jeots.
Now Morton simply resorted to the
wildest of domngogy nnd banked on the
gnornnco of his audience. The fact is
that sugar beet cultures is an Industry of
very rccont date in the United States.
Thu machinery had to bo imported from
franco nnd Germany baciiust ) such ma
chinery wns not to bo had in Amorlrn ,
nod furthermore bccnuso there was no
demand for manufacturing it in this
country. The mon to sot up the ma
chinery had to bo Imported from Franco
nnd Germany not becnuse their labor
was cheaper but because no compote-lit
engineer familiar with sui'h machinery
could bo found on thin side. Paying
faro from Paris to Grand Island and
back for an export sug.ir-relining en
gineer fould hardly bo called an at
tempt to import cheap labor.
When America can boast of 100 sugar
refineries instead of half a do/.on , no
sugar rotlnur will bo idiotic enough to
end abroad for his mechanical en
gineer. For the same reason the
Oxnards wore compelled to Import
foreigners from countries that cultivate
the sugar boot on un extensive scale.
When our natlvo farmers have learned
from these foreigners how to cultivate
sugar beets , the domestic labor will
doubtless bo substituted. It stands to
reas-on that any now industry must bo
begun by the importation of skilled
labor from countries where it is in n
llouri&hing condition.
The first New England cotton mill
engineers and machinists had to bo im
ported from Lancashire and Man
chester , and our first glnssworkors
came from Belgium , Franco and Ger
many. Our bilk industry has been
carried on by Italians ; our copper mines
and smelters by Cornishinun aim our
collieries have boon worked by Welsh
men. That fact does not cheapen Ainori-
.cnn labor , but on the contrary enlarges
its sphere of activities and creates n
greater demand for American labor
products. Frco trade would paralyze
many of our industries ana make the
American ucoplo dependent upon for
eign countries for almost every product
of the factory and mill. So long ns
American labor is better paid and
American workmen nre bettor housed ,
clothed and fed , there will bo an inllux
to our shores of toilers seeking to better
their condition. Their coming is the
best cortillcato in favor of the policy
under which American industry has
been fostered and labor elevated to a
higher plane.
The domoi'ratio organs gleefully declare -
clare that the south is safely solid for
their party. Since tlio result of the
elections in Georgia nnd Florida clearly
demonstrated that the populist party
iad ceased to be ti factor in those states ,
, ho democratic leaders have dismissed
all anxiety regarding the electoral vote
of the south. Even as to Alabama ,
where there Is n division in the demo
cratic ranks , they profess to fool not the
east apprehension respecting the result
on the national ticket. There has boon
some lulk of what might be accomplished
jy republican and populist fusions in
Tennessee , Virginia and West Virginia ,
but in all this there is evidently more or
ess of what Is known as "rainbow elms-
, ng. " The fact is that no roltanco can
jo placed upon the southern populists ,
jccauso tholr ( Irst sympithy is with the
democracy and the intluoncos that are
strongest with them will.load them to act
with the democratic party in the
national election.
An eastern republican contemporary
pointedly and honsibly says : "Repub
licans neinl not expend any money or
thought upon the south. It will be
squandered money and barren thought
if ventured. The proper way is to ac
cept a solid south as a foregone conclu
sion and buckle to nnd m ike a solid
north and west. For if the third party
docs not resent the treatment of thoh
candidate in the south it ought not to
bo dilllcult to ovurcomo so ptuilnnimous
n party in the west. Wo cannot bo'
llovo that there can bo a party of
cowards and fools. " Obviously the sltua
tion demands that the republicans slml
expend no olTort whore there is not somt
reasonable chance of its being otToctivo ,
and It ought to bo plain to the merest
tyro in politics that nothing is to bo nc >
complislied in the SDUth. The urgoir
question is , for the campaign is almos
nt an end , will the third pirty in the
west rosoiit the treatment of tholr cui :
didatos in the south ? There Is but oni
olloctlvo way to do this , and that is U
elect the republican candidates , Tin
success of Mr. Cleveland wou.d be i
vindication of the intolerant spirit o
the houthorn dcmocr.icy. Are the ox
republicans among the populists of th
northwest willing that this shall b
done'/ / The moro intelligent nmoiij
them i mi nl euo the absolute hopolcssnos
of their cause. Are they prepare * t
lift into powor. by throwing away Ihol
votes uno a Weaver , thu party whos
dominant element denied to their nnndl
date that freedom of speech which i
the constitutional riuht of every citlzo

for the populist candidate will bo n vet

crutlu candidate nor nny leader o
organ of thu democracy has condumuc
the treatment of the third party cand
date in the south. Is it possible thu
there is n populist any where in tb
north or west , whoso pruforonco is IK
for democratic success , who can bo s
blind or indllToront to patriotic dut
that ho will not vote so ns to rebuke tli
party whoso intolerant and brutal trou
iiiont of the people's party Candida !
was n reproach to the country'/
Undoubtedly the south is safely soil
for the democracy , made so by method
whicli mock republican institutions , nnd
however unfortunate it may bo to sum
mon the spirit of sectionalism into nc-
tivity nt this llmo n solid north nnd
west Is necessary to properly respond to
the latest manifestation of Iho intoler

General Van Wyck is getting some
routrh handling from tlio press of the
state on account of the manifest incon
sistency of his past record nnd present
professions. Although n veteran polit
ical campaigner ho cannot conceal the
fact that the exposure greatly annoys
nnd Irritates him , nnd this grows with
the inerenilng knowledge that ho is
steadily losing strength. There nro
thousands of populists who bollove , in
vlinv of the developments , tlmt the
party mndo n grave mistake in selecting
General Van Wyck as its standard
bearer in this campaign. Ho is not only
compelled to make a defensive light but
ho has shown unexpected weakness ns
nn advocate of the principles of the peo-
nlo's party.
General Van Wyck professes to en
dorse the plank of the populist platform
which demands it national currency ,
"safe , soutid and flexible , issued by Iho
general government only , a full legal
tender for nil tiebts , public nnd private ,
nnd that without ; the use of banking
corporations , ' ' and therefore ho is op
posed to the national banks. Yet Gen
eral Van Wyi-k was to the extent of his
voice and vote in congress responsible
for the creation of the national bank
system. Uo was ono of the strongest
advocates of the national currency act
In congress at the time of its adoption
and was ono of the seventy-eight mem
bers who voted for the act on its 11 mil
passage , February 120 , 1803. Nor was
this all , for the general availed himself
of this legislation in becoming interested
in : . national ban ) ; . No sensible man
blames him for this , but the question
naturally suggests itself , whntisthcro
about the national banks now that
renders them so objectionable to Gen
eral Van Wyelc which d'd not exist
when ho was their friend and bene
ficiary ?
The republican candidate for gov
ernor lias brought to light , though not
or the first time , in the joint debates
with the populist candidate , n number
interesting facts in the public record of
the latter which must present him in : i
rather awkward and unattractive po
sition to many populists who were led to
confidingly believe that they had found
in General Van Wyck the ideal loader
of the now nolillcal movement , the em
bodiment of the simple , unselfish nnd
humanitarian instincts which the aver
age populist ascribes to himself and his
fellow partisans. It must have been
something of a shock to not a few of
these pcoplo to discover , after having
irrevocably named their standard
bearer , that ho belongs among the
"plutocrats" of Nebraska , that ho is ex
ceptionally shrewd in a financial trans
action and has a tenacious grip on what
he has accumulated. .
As a matter of fact both' the party
and the candidate wore deceived the
former in ovoro.timatingtho popularity
of the candidate and thu latter in under
estimating the intelligence of the
people. Few men over succeed in rid-
intr two horsss in a political campaign.
Conservative citizens , who demand that
the executive of the state shall at least
bo free from every form of dissimulation
and deception and n worthy representa
tive of the intelligence , the integrity
and tno conscience of tlio pcoplo , cannot
consistently give General Van Wyck
their support.

Dealer * in this city are constantly
handling American tin in small quanti

that American ingenuity and skill

simply absurd.

Those who are jcnlous of the credit an
reputation of Colorado have good reuse
to protest against this ruinous kind i
political campaigning. Nebraska is su
faring from the bad numo given her I
the populist ? , but it is not cnt > y to dt
prebS thu credit of u state largely d
voted to ngrlculturo unless there Is i
leust un appearance of truth in tl
damaging § tntcmojit ) mado. The whole
country knows IhntUtils state produced
enormous crops ln | ycnr nnd Iho mine
of her crops this yi ir hn3 already gone
nbrond to dlscrodfi''lho empty allega
tions of the cnlni/jiSy / crowd. A few
weeks ngo the pop'ilUsls had the possi
bility of early frcMs to rely upon , but
now that hope is .g.ono and the good
crops certainly iiwurcd have begun to
undo the dnningtroughl < to the repu
tation of Nebraska during the summer.
In this respect thssjlnte \ , mallnged nnd
abused as it has been , Is bolter olT than
Colorado. The great mining Industries
of the latter are represented ns pros
trated by the financial policy now in
force , and it is not easy for the outside
world to learn the truth. It must bo
exasperating to tho.so who are jealous
of tlio good name of that stuto. us
indeed everybody ought to bo , to know
that It Is sulTerlng under this needless
ana foolish detraction.
It lias been demonstrated in this
state , and yet moro in Kansas , that the
very existence of a calamity organiza
tion , without regard lo the truth of its
statements , is a positive and perpetual
Injury. Stories of increasing mortgage
burdens nnd general distress may bo re
futed , but many n man socking njhomo ,
in the \\cst has hesitated to settle in a
state which ho feared would soon bo
dominated by cranks. If in spite ot
these mttnifcst drawbacks this state is
gaining steadily in population , which it
very much needs to do. It is plain that
the Increase would uo much moro rapid
if loss wore eaid lo its disadvantage. The
same is true of other western stales
in which the populists are active. No
body denies their right to organize ns n
political party if that pleases them , but
their right to misrepresent and dispar
age the states in which they nro operat
ing in order to make it , appear that
there is n demand for the lomcdy which
llicy offer is not to bo conceded for n
moment. In a section of the country
largely dependent for its future devel
opment upon immigration it is intoler
able that so foolish u policy should bo
pursued. Lot the credit and reputation
of the west bo vindicated.
Tin : death of the Western Tralllc as
sociation is not expected to produce any
particular disturbance in the railroad
situation for the reason that it was ex-
peeled. When a quorum of the advisory
committee failed to attend the meeting
in Ne.v York called for last Tuesday it
was apparent that th6ro was a mutual
understanding that it was time the asso
ciation came to an end. It had never
been of any very great service.
The agreement , entered Jinto by
its members wns''never faithfully
kept by all of them and it
was powerlosj toicnforco its decrees.
There is a lesson1 ift the career and
death of this association but it seems
hardly worth while to state it. It will
bo sufficient to olAer'yo ' that it is not
creditable to the presidents of the roads
tliat they were uimblo lo formulate n
plan capable of cor4ptlnff | the abuses of
which thoyjComplnii | | t is.evident that
further goneraLleglshition will'bo neces
sary and itiwill probably take the form
of authorizing a money pool subject to
regulation by the Interstate Commerce
commission.
IT PI-IMS : at first glance n little strange
that there should bo a large increase in
the sales of anthracite coal under pres
ent conditions , but no doubt the explana
tion lies in the fact ihat consumers have
made basic to stoclc up in anticipation
of further unreasonable advances in
price by the coal combine. During the
week ending October 1 the amount of
anthracite sent , to market by the several
carrying companies was 1,009,244 tons ,
compared with 860,500 tons during the
same week last year , an inc reaso of
142,741 tons in the face of the increased
price , which was expected to greatly
reduce the demand. It is not likely
that the buying will long bo continued
at this rate , for oven the natural impulse -
pulse to stock ui > before the advances
cease must have a limit. A curioti'
feniuio of the situation is the fact thai
the market for bituminous coal has nol
been generally strengthened by the an-
thrnclto robbery. A change in this ro
spnct. will bo shown when cold wqathoi
comes.

The mayor paid Hon.V. . Ii. Andrews , the
republican nominee for congress in the Fifth
district , a handsome tribute , nnd said that
ho had the enthusiastic support ot every ro-
tmbllcnn m Grand Island nnd Hull county :
Hint ho was an nblo man nnd n splendid
